But how antilockdown? Like, everyone can do what they want, no new rules, back to pre-covid?

I think that voluntary-only measures will cost a LOT of lives. I think everyone agrees more restriction == more lives saved, this is the classic argument for antiterrorism. Where people are diverging is where the best place to draw that line.

Maybe everyone should begin with a disclaimer of how many people they are willing to let die relative to essential-workers-only.

Well, and being able to balance the fact that the massive spike in unemployment and economic collapse will actually result in lives lost.

That human aspect doesn't seem to be figured in to the situation; as though it is a matter of only money vs life. But the collapse will kill, too.
